Well out of curiousity I left my machine up last night and started folding about 11PM. Curious to see where I stand tomorrow morning when I pause everything and restart the machine.

On a side note what or when does one get badges? or are those the certificates? Thanks

Welcome! You'll get your Folding badge when you get 100,000 points.
Folding with an AMD GPU and CPU can be frustrating. The GPU puts a lot of load on the CPU so neither gets much done if you are SMP Folding on all of the CPU's cores and Folding on the GPU at the same time. My recommendation is to not Fold on an AMD CPU when there's an AMD GPU. Folding on the CPU hurts the points for the GPU and you will not get many PPD from your CPU anyway. You can try SMP Folding on 2 or 3 cores, but keep an eye on the utilization of your GPU, where the real PPD lies.

hmmm ok that must be under advanced or expert tab. so far I am running with default with no issues. But if u say I will get better numbers another way please by all means guide me. let mknow what needs to be set at what all i saw were -1 for this and -2 for that sorta greek to me. thanks in advance.
